Were you heavily dissapointed by the lack of on-the-fly theme switching? Couldn’t stand the fact that the progressbars didn’t animate when dragging those sliders? Or simply despised the lack of tab widgets on all four sides?

As you can see here [1] I’m one of the persons helping with GIMPing heads for all the subscribers to Planet GNOME. I’d love to help making a hackergotchi for you. Just drop me a mail with a photo attached to it or point me to some online gallery where I can grab it. Cheers, Antonio.

Sorry, I’m not using Metacity but XFWM
The theme I use is something I quickly hacked up after getting “legal threats” from the Opus author for using an XFWM theme that was modelled after Opus. I didn’t release this XFWM theme to the public and I’m currently not planning to port it to Metacity.

How did I get started… Well, after having used Bluecurve for quite some time, it started to grow old on me. So after creating some mockups, I downloaded the Bluecurve source code and started looking at the code. Now I don’t completely remember what I changed first, or how I knew what to look for, but I probably just searched for some keywords (like “button”) and studied the code.
